Meronk ends three-year wait with Dunhill Links triumph
Adrian Meronk ended a 1,078-day wait for a DP World Tour title, winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews on October 4, 2026. The Pole closed with a four-under 68 to finish at 20-under 268, two strokes clear of Casey Jarvis and Niklas Norgaard.
Meronk began the final day two shots behind overnight leader Jarvis. Birdies at the first, second, and fifth wiped out the deficit, and he pulled clear with further birdies at the 12th and 14th. A bogey at the tough 17th gave Jarvis hope, but the South African could not force a playoff.
It was Meronk’s fifth DP World Tour title and his first since the 2023 Andalucia Masters. Ten years ago he made his professional debut at this very event. “I never usually cry, but this one feels really special,” the emotional 33-year-old said.
The win also secures Meronk a full European tour card for 2027. He and pro-am partner Tom Chaplin additionally claimed the team championship.
